Ws have made about the vestal repair. to the bridges sod the aroseiree this year. All the county bridges are In • very good state of repair at this date, I be- lieve. and are likely to reinain so daring the present winter. The following bridges are very much decayed and are somewhat dangerous for heavy hods, and I recommend that they be rebuilt during the summer of 1889: let, the H.nfryn bridge, situated an the devia- tion boundary road between the coun- ties of Huron and Perth; 2d, the bridge over the north branch of the Maitland river on the gravel road in Winches ; 3rd, Hall's bridge on the lake shore road in the township of Gednich. I here- with submit the number and &mama of orders which I have issued since the let of June, 1888, in payment for the im- provements made to the ()Gouty bridges approaches and buildings. The following is the sepplementary re- port for the month of January. On January 16th I set tb. ouinetisaioner for the aunty of Perth, mad the warders of the Comity of Huron. We examined the bridge over the feasible River, on the county boundary line between the town- ship of Hibbert and I *borne, and found it very mach decayed and unsafe. Would recommend that it be built as soon as possible This bridge is 46 feet long. I examinee the bridge on the boisedary lie, between the towaabips of Teekeremith and Hay, and found it to be old and unmet. I would recommend that it be rebuilt as early as possible.
